Florida Supreme Court

What did Florida politicians and others have to say after the Florida Supreme Court's rulings on the state's abortion law and ballot proposal?

The decision comes several months after the state's Attorney General Ashley Moody asked the Florida Supreme Court to strike down the measure.

A state Supreme Court ruling upholding Florida's 15-week ban means a six-week ban can go into effect in 30 days. Advocates who help people access abortions say this will make it harder for patients around the Southeast to get care.

The rulings Monday reject Attorney General Ashley Moody’s arguments that both of the proposed questions should have been rejected.

The ruling by the Florida Supreme Court upheld the state's ban on most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. It means a subsequently passed six-week ban can soon take effect.

While one amendment seeks to ensure abortion rights, the other would allow adults 21 or older to use recreational marijuana in the state.

The Florida Supreme Court said in a ruling on Thursday that the type of petition the opponents had filed was the wrong vehicle for challenging the compact between the Seminole Tribe of Florida and Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration.

Attorney General Ashley Moody's office and abortion opponents are urging justices to consider another part of the state Constitution that they say could apply to "unborn children."

The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a ruling that could help limit the liability of a Tallahassee bar in a case involving Jackie Faircloth, who suffered catastrophic injuries when she was hit by a pickup truck in 2014.

Alleging an "egregious misreading of Florida's Constitution," voting-rights groups late Wednesday argued the state Supreme Court should overturn a decision that upheld a congressional redistricting plan pushed through the Legislature by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Jared Smith, a judge on the 6th District Court of Appeal, has asked the Florida Supreme Court to shield him from testifying in a battle about alleged misconduct by Hillsborough County Circuit Judge Nancy Jacobs during the 2022 election campaign.

Objecting to an attempt to speed up the case, attorneys for the state argued Friday "there is no reasonable likelihood" the Florida Supreme Court will rule in a congressional redistricting battle in time for the 2024 elections.
